Effectively elevating grooves with vibrant detail, ABBEY ROAD ORCHESTRA: HIGH PERCUSSION CORE’s clarity and intricate performances come courtesy of using the same selection of 62 incredible instruments included in the ABBEY ROAD ORCHESTRA: HIGH PERCUSSION PROFESSIONAL package — ranging from the crisp snap of three pristine snare drums to Congas, Rototoms, and much more besides — that is surely more than enough to bring anyone’s rhythmic aspirations to life. Likewise, …HIGH PERCUSSION CORE also offers identical detail in the selection of its (391) available articulations, beaters, and techniques, all performed by virtuoso percussionist Joby Burgess.
Indeed, it is fair to say that …HIGH PERCUSSION CORE re-emphasises the nuanced features of …LOW PERCUSSION CORE, duly demonstrating their dynamic responsiveness to also include RIGHT/LEFT MAPPING, SOFT TAKEOVER (triggers roll dynamics intuitively via key velocity while also retaining mod wheel functionality), TWO-HANDED LAYOUT (mirrors mapped keys further up the keyboard to enable flexibility and speed when playing), and VOICE CHOKING (precisely controls the end of roll techniques when pressing correspondingly hit keys). All allow for an instinctive and gratifying performance. Put it this way: with everything carefully captured by Simon Rhodes — responsible for the essential microphone mix that locks the incredible sound of Abbey Road Studio One into those grooves, …HIGH PERCUSSION CORE offers an experience that is agile, responsive, and intuitive.
